The only other place I can think of where we allow both bound and unbound identifiers, and interpret them differently, is syntax templates. I don't think of a require spec as a template -- mostly data with a few, special, overriding references -- I generally expect each name to have a single unambiguous meaning. > (define racket "Racket") is not problem because it's a phase-0, > non-require-transformer binding. Require transformers are at phase 0, too. Or are you suggesting that we interpret bound names if they are require transformers, but not if they're something else? Once again, only templates behave that way. It would be very odd to me to treat require specs as mostly data, with a few special, overriding bindings, rather than as a type of expression where each name has a single meaning. > Using these macros this way is just a nice way to implement the > package system.

We already have require macros for application positions because all application positions in require specs are interpreted as bindings. All identifier-only positions are interpreted as data and used as collection names. In general, Racket macros avoid mixing data and expressions (anything that interprets bindings), because it leads to very confusing behavior. This is similar to why cond has a binding for else rather than using its symbolic name, and even more directly similar to why match does not have id transformers either. --Carl _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev

Right now we have require-transformers but there's no reason we couldn't/shouldn't have id macros too. (define racket "Racket") is not problem because it's a phase-0, non-require-transformer binding.

Is there a way of generically traversing all structure in a completely privileged way in Racket, without programming at the VM level? For example, one might wish to serialize some arbitrary data structure or write an object inspector or interactive debugger.

[racket-dev] Using clang to Build Racket on Mac OS X
Hello Racket Developers, I thought I would write a quick note about building Racket on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the new clang compiler (the new front-end to the LLVM compiler backend that is becoming the standard compiler on Mac OS X for XCode 4 and later). Overall, it's been a good experience. As promised, clang seems to compile the C sources in the racket distribution much more quickly than gcc, and has better-formatted error and warning messages. I believe that the resulting native code libraries make racket run faster, but haven't run any detailed tests (there was quite a gap between my last gcc-based build and my first clang-based one, so the improvements may also be due to Racket development). The only wart in the process is the following: when compiling with clang or llvm-gcc with the -O4 option, which enables link-time optimization in the LLVM backend, the GC is unable to correctly determine the stack growth direction. Unfortunately, the configure script doesn't realize that it cannot determine the direction---apparently the test gets it wrong, but appears successful---so supplying the direction manually via the configure argument doesn't work. The build fails when first trying to run raco setup when the GC notes that the stack growth is inconsistent with its assumptions. I'm writing this email partly to see if anyone else has seen the error and knows what to do about it, and partly because I thought you might like to know how racket fairs on the newer OS X compiler. If someone wants to test modifications to the configure script's stack growth test, I would be happy to take patches and test-compile them on my system. For now, I am having great luck building with clang -O3; eventually, it would be nice to have the LTO, since that's one of the most exciting benefits of using the LLVM toolchain.

Re: [racket-dev] A basic package system
I don't see them as overlapping, but you may understand them different than I do. The way I see modules/facets is that 'racket/list.rkt' will have a 'default' facet and a 'testing' facet and a 'documentation' facet, so that each use can be syntactically close but separately loadable. The way I see packages is that they allow indirection of module paths, so that inside 'a.rkt', 'racket/list' can refer to something other than the usual thing because of what package it is inside. Packages also allow module privacy in a way we don't provide now, because some modules may not be provided from the package, even though they are inside it. So... do you think those two understandings overlap? Or do you understand them differently?
